The breakfast was minimal. They had 1 large gallon of milk for everyone to share. This was also the same for the Peanut butter. After the last few years and health issues, I thought sharing out of a container was weird at best and unacceptable. We stayed 3 days but did not utilize the breakfast but the first day and none of the community share items.

Our check-in staff member was VERY helpful and informative. The one who took over from her didn’t speak to us at any point. It is an older facility, but serviceable. We were, unfortunately, quite disappointed in the breakfast. No one was checking on the hot food supply, so there was plenty of sausage, but only the tiniest of scraps in the other pans. We made do with cold cereal.

Low rate for one night stay. There was some type of cleaning smell that was stray the whole stay. Bed and pillows hard as a rock. Looking to save money, you’d be fine. We checked out and found another hotel for more comfort.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Nestled in among car lots, u-Haul rental offices, and fast food…what an odd place for a motel. Hard to find, tiny, tiny room and a bathroom where the toilet barely cleared the door. No Kleenex provided, and for some reason we got stuck on a garden level, down 8 or 9 steps from the reception desk. Lumpy pillows and noisy AC. I didn’t read any bad reviews on Expedia so thought I would give it a try. I’ll be more careful next time, this was a sad experience.
